A Masked FiIibuster.

Mr. j. Ramon Rubiero, National Secre-
tary of the Cuban Federation of Cigar
Makers" who, according to press dispatches,
is on his way to this city to present claim
to the State Department against the Spanish
government for $4,000 damages for his ex-
pulsion from Tampa, Fla, by a vigilance
committee, at the instigation. as he alleges,
of the Spanish government, may possibly
find himself confronted on his arrival here
by reports putting a different aspect on the
affair At the time of the so-called labor
riots in Tampa it was stated iu these dis
patches, upon private information received
here by former United States officials in
Florida, that the real cause of the trouble
was Cuban filibustering. The Treasury
Department has since received official re-
ports from the present custom house officials
which clearly indicate that Mr. sRubiero was
assessing the Cuban cigarmakers for the
avowed purpose of fitting out Cuban ex-
pedltion, and that his expulsion was purely
the act OF the cigar manufacturers and other
citizens for the protection of their employees,
and cannot in any way be traced to the in
stigation of the Spanish government.

The House of Commons to Adjourn
Whitsuntide Holidays.
Discovery of an Immense Amour
of Treasures in India.

LONDON, May 16.--The proposal Of Mr..
Smith that the House Of Commons adjourn
wnirsunside holidays from May oath to
June 9th. leaves thv- House only four nights
for debate on the coercion bill before au=-
Journment, as all other sittings will be 0c-
cnpied with estimates. 1t is doubtful whether
the first clause Of the coercion bill can be
passed before adjournment Sir William
Vernon Harcourt proposed an important
amendment to the BILL exempting from
secret inquiry all proceedings relating to
public meetings or agrarian movements in
cluding combinations to obtain reductions of
rent. The Glads.onians will make this a
test amendment. If the government ac-
cepts it the billwill be permitted to progress,
but II the government refuses, every possible
device will be used to obstruct the measure.
The government will modify the Irish land
bill in the House Of Lords. The original
clauses enable solvent tenants to apply for
reduction of rent under appeal in bank
ruptcy. Now 1t Is proposed, as a substitute,
that joint application be made for bank
ruptcy order by both landlord and tenant;
further that the court be empowered to stay
eviction without declaring bankruptcy by
granting extension of time for payment.
Gladstone will spend part Of Whitsuntide
holidays In Swansea, Wales, where he will
be the guest of Six Henry Hussey Vivian.
Sir Henry was formerly a Liberal. He
wavered, however, in loyalty to Gladstone
when he introduced the Irish Home Rule
bill and acted with the Liberal Unionists.
Recently he became converted to the ex-
Premier's views on the Irish question 1t is
probable that the Welsh people will signalze
GladstOne's visit to a series of administra
tions in his honor.
Lord Harrington to-day had long con-
ference with the Marquis of Salisbury, Hon.
w. III. Smith and Mr.. GOschen with view
to fastening the passage of the coercion bill.
The Financial Secretary of India has adj
yised the government Of the discovery of an
immense amount Of treasure, estimated at
over S25, ,000, 600, which had been secreted in
the palace of Gwaalior by the late Mahara-
Jah The treasure was sunk in pots under
the vaults beneath Zenana. The secret was
entrusted to few confidential servants At
ter removing the earth to the depth Of six
feet the w0rkmen uncovered great flag
stones. Beneath these were several pots
filled to the brim with silver, chiefly freshly
coined rupees. In each pit was plate re-
cording the amount of the treasure and the
names of the officials who assisted in secret
ing It. The Indian government has taken
the hoard as a loan from young Maharajan.
Native papers protest and say had Mahara
jah been adult instead being under regency
controlled by the government would never
have invested the whole wealth in Indian
securities. The question will be raised in
Parliament as to whether the investment
be not another name for seizure.

1t Ia remarkable that anybody not in

should refrain from pressing their views
upon the Governor. Nc
Those who denlIe clemercy are fearful
tho! the Governor will not grant 1t, and
